AOBAJUKU DOJO

 

Aobajuku Dojo was founded 36 years ago and is lead by instructor Yasuo Honda (7th Dan).
Our Dojo is affiliated with Aikikai.
It contains a youth- and general section, both training at the same time regardless of age. You will see 3rd Dan and 4th Dan holders training with kids as young as 4, and often both kids and parent(s) are enrolled in the Dojo.

Trainings are conducted in Japanese, but seeing is doing!
A number of foreigners are training at Aobajuku Dojo; we have had Englishmen and women, Germans and Russians. Currently we have an Algerian and a Dutchman (who took his 1st Dan at our Dojo.
The social activities of our Dojo are also well organized with 4 seasonal get-togethers linking in with traditional Japanese customs.
It is a great way to get to know Japan and the Japanese better.
